The equipment includes an electronic control of torque transfer device (TTD), which varies depending on power delivery between the axles. Valve to increase or decrease the hydraulic pressure on the wet clutch plates inside the TTD, or engage in a gradual loosening of the rear axle. The degree of 'slip' dictates as driving the rear wheels is transmitted.

Unlike all-wheel drive systems, eliminating the need to detect front wheel slip before rear drive is activated.

The team includes an electronically controlled transfer of torque (DTT), ranging from the power delivery between the axles. A valve increases or decreases the hydraulic pressure on the wet clutch plates inside the TTD to progressively engage or disengage the rear axle. The degree of 'slip' dictates how much torque is transmitted to the rear wheels. The standard setting limited slip rear differential (eLSD) operates under the same principle, through the wheel of dividing the drive shaft according to traction.
